Sonic Storybook

Childhood: a time of magic, fantasy, creativity, and play. It's also a time of limitless possibilty, where ideas take root in the imagination only to blossom years later. Join us on a vivid and whimsical journey through the realm of the imagination as we premiere pieces by twelve of BC's most inventive composers, each inspired by their childhood memories.
